As a Jew who works on stuff like human rights and international law, it is such a breath of fresh air to have one candidate willing to find a first principles, human rights-based answer on Israel and repeat it endlessly for a very, very long year, trusting that many Jews understand and agree

Utterly charmed by this annotation someone added to a 1658 copy of Edward Topsell's The History of Four-Footed Beasts and Serpents
In case you cannot read it, someone has added "help help or I shall be eaten to pieces by this devouring creature"

Realizing I never really showed Bluesky wedding pictures, which means you all have not seen this photo of my dad as Gandalf and my father-in-law as Arthur Dent.
This was not coordinated, and they were both exceedingly pleased with themselves.

The manicules in #rarebooks are fantastically diverse. Some are tiny & discreet, others take up half the margin; some have flowing sleeves, or even little faces.
They’re glimpses into the personality of readers/scribes highlighting passages worth reading.

Well past sunset tonight (I was exhausted from running errands all day), but this year's honey cakes were still a success. I even left them in the oven a bit long and they are still delicious.
Shanah tovah, and may 5786 be kinder to us all.

There's a local bookstore in the St Paul train station with a bookstore kitty, and I just found out from the person working there that his name is BAGGINS and they're going to throw a little birthday party for him later this month.....

Periodic reminder that because testosterone is a scheduled substance in the US, every single testosterone prescription in the country is stored in a state level database.
Please, please, protect transmascs.
Transmascs on prescribed testosterone are in so much danger right now.

A dog-day cicada for #invertefest 🐡

Pictured: The exact amount of fabric I had left after cutting the sleeve linings for my next costume. Really cut this one close.
(And if you can guess the costume just from the pattern here, you have some serious nerd cred!)
